When I hear of the sheer dim idiocy of stories like these I despair for the lack of intelligence endowed to those who are empowered to make these decisions!:(

"....He was told he couldn't be admitted as a single man...."
I would have though that in itself was illegal ?, as it would need to apply to women as well.
How utterly stupid.

Another fine example of the lunatics running the asylum.... Makes no sense whatever....
Alan........If you read their "small print" they do also exclude single women. Still seems like totally unreasoable discrimination.

A warning for some on this forum.Now imagine that this rule was in place at aeroplane museums...;o)
Ah, aircraft museums, as some wag once pointed out, the only place where no one bats an eyelid when you take a camera into the toilets!

Don't shout too loud lest some zealous pea-brained "official" sees the opportunity for new restrictions to be enplaced!!!

At least Fred & Rose West, Ian Brady & Myra Hindley would be welcome with open arms.
Good thinking.

Train fans make us look hip in comparison.
Yes, we may be nerds, but we're not THAT bad.
I've always assumed most train enthusiasts should be banned from playgrounds...:) :0 :)
NOTE: The above is a joke...don't report me to the UN, EU, County Council, H&S or PC police.

Perhaps someone should award them an entry on TripAdvisor. That'll make them change their ways.

I hope he sues them, that has got to be breaking several laws from discrimination through to human rights.. As a single guy one sees it as an insidious attack on our freedoms.. What next? Not allowed to walk down the road on our own, sit on a bus, train, plane 3 rows from any child? As said by moggy the majority of the people jailed appeared to have been married... It's like banning all DJ's because of Jimmy Saville.

John, just checked, he has... Stupid thing is you could meet a total stranger at the gate and walk in with her or him, they do not know you are not a couple, I wonder how they would deal with two men or women turning up that are gay, stupidity isn't it.

It is to be hoped the "PC brigade" pursue this "family leisure park" with as much vigour as they did the hotel keepers who elected not to let a room to a same sex couple. My feeling is they probably won't. Fear it will turn out to a case of one law for single folk and another for homosexuals.

...it does - as already mentioned - which was why I didn't put 'single man' in the title.
So, does anyone know of other sites that apply such rules?

Yes I saw that, once I read the article, rather than the original quote :)

I think it is a good idea; just think how much serious crime could be prevented if this initiative was extended?
All those that carried out the suicide bombings in London were young Asian men; this is a far better correlation for convicted pedophiles so naturally young Asian men should be banned from all such venues on anti-terrorism grounds. Actually thinking about it there was that other incident where the terrorist murderers were black; probably best if we were to ban all black men too...
...oh, and I can think of two high-profile murders, one involving a child victim and one involving an Asian victim, that were perpetrated by Eastern European men, so we'd better add them to the banned list...
...oh, and let's not forget children who abduct and murder other children, or children who murder adults...
...and we're surely not going to let Catholic priests in are we..?
...oh, and what about all that 'grooming' by Asian men that goes on up-North.....no, Asian men already banned...
...but that was only young Asian men.....better just ban all Asian men to be on the safe side!

You do have to wonder if they would stop a single Asian man from entering the same park. Probably not. Likewise, you are ignoring a lot of history if you think that women are incapable of cruelty towards children, extending as far as paedophile acts.
Then again, I remember the 2012 London Olympics for the gaggle of female presenters lusting after Tom Daley's then 18 year old body. Imagine if it were the other way round, and male presenters made off-colour remarks about 18 year old female divers. That wouldn't have worked out so well.

Fortunately I missed the the lusting after Tom Daley - but how ironic given that he is openly homosexual.:o

I think he is bi-sexual, but given that he had Clare Balding commenting on my abdominals for days on end...

Yes I think the figure is roughly 50/50 men/women. Maybe why they are not allowing single women either.
You would have thought though, that all children would be supervised. Either by parents or school teachers ?
Perhaps they should have said that children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. There couldn't
have been any argument with that. Except from those maybe, that allow their little darlings to run riot and
annoy everyone else apart from them.
